"Any Nepal travel guidebook will give you details, details, details. But read Stephen Bezruchka's Trekking Nepal, the best for background and thorough trekking advice." — Christian Science Monitor, on the 7th edition
* Co-written by veteran Nepal trekkers with more than 60 combined years of experience in the region
* New 8th edition reflects the most current political information and includes both popular and lesser-known trekking destinations
After much political unrest, tourism to Nepal is again on the rise as a travel destination. New features of the 8th edition include:
* Expanded coverage of areas outside of the primary trekking routes, as well as of less-traveled routes near major trailheads
* New details on trekking in the Everest, Annapurna, and Langtang regions
* New "DIY" information for independent exploring: how to make contact with villagers, use local maps, find porters and guides, understand pricing guidelines, and arrange travel necessities such as water purification and meals
